Product Overview
Learning Objectives

Senior consultant Cecilia Marks must outline an initial sourcing strategy for the chassis systems division of Teek Automotive, Ltd. (Teek). In recent years, Teek has been refocusing its manufacturing and organizational strategies, and now it must increase value across its entire supply chain. It is especially interested in opportunities to extract value through changing its relationships with suppliers, and Marks is working with a client to develop a strategy for the springs team. In her strategy recommendations, she considers cost drivers, the number and locations of Teek’s suppliers, and critical integration levers. The case is accompanied by a student spreadsheet with spring design data.
